<h1>To find the HTML Help registry key</h1>
<p>You can determine if HTML Help is installed on a computer by checking for the HTML Help registry key.</p>
	<ol>
	<li>Click <b>Start</b>, and then click <b>Run</b>.
	<li>Type <b>regedit</b> in the <b>Open</b> box, and then click <b>OK</b>. This will open the Microsoft Registry Editor.
	<li>Click <b>Find</b> on the <b>Edit</b> menu, and then search for the following CLSID:
	<p>ADB880A6-D8FF-11CF-9377-00AA003B7A11</p>
	<p>This is the CLSID of the HTML Help ActiveX Control (Hhctrl.ocx). It is registered by the system during setup. If Hhctrl.ocx is installed on your system, the CLSID will be found under HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT/CLSID. If it is not found, Hhctrl.ocx is not installed.</p>
	</li>
	</ol>

<h3>Note</h3>
<ul>
<li>Use extreme caution when viewing your registry with the Registry Editor. Changing anything in the registry can adversely affect how your system functions.
